		<description><![CDATA[When I can't come up with an annual "top ten" movies, I start thinking about a larger list: top American narrative feature films of all time. The American Film Institute (AFI) has a comprehensive list, often referred to as the "definitive" list, circa 1998 and revamped in 2007. I would charge myself with writing a feminist rebuttal, but there certainly aren't 100 female-centered films of sufficient calabre to make for a serious argument. That - in and of itself - is the argument... The reason for compiling a list of this type is to encourage people to view and discuss these works. (There's certainly more that can be written about each one of these films.) AFI wants you to watch and consider Citizen Kane and Raging Bull, etc. As a feminist film critic, I want you to see these and other motion pictures with an open mind. With so few feminist film critics working in the mainstream media, you may not have considered these and other films in this way before. Maybe you have and perhaps you even have ideas about other films that warrant a fresh look at the way they too challenge phallocentrism in cinema. The more we watch and the more we raise our voices in forums like this, the more chance there is of changing the way Hollywood understands and portrays women, and the more plentiful the opportunities for women as creators of cinema will become.<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefemspot.com&#038;blog=3742533&#038;post=309&#038;subd=femspotter&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The bottom line is that until we're told we have to behave in a certain way - for instance: our parents say so, our girlfriends do so, or magazines show so - we girls usually behave in a way that feels natural for us. Sometimes, we find ourselves seeking permission to behave differently than other little girls. There are standards out there. This is why little boys often find it difficult to cry...and probably why little girls often find it difficult not to. How quickly they learn the rules!<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=thefemspot.com&#038;blog=3742533&#038;post=254&#038;subd=femspotter&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
